: I'm trying to remember black people in Vance and can come up with only a couple - believe in Slaves of the Klau there's a black jazz band (here's what saves Vance from stepping over the line I think, his obvious love of jazz that is rooted in the black soul/experience). Also believe that in Take My Face there is a visit to a Bohemian neighborhood in San Francisco with black jazz musicians there. Anyone care to add to this list of black people in Vance?
I can mention at least one black hero from Vance: James Keith in The Augmented Agent, a collection of short stories published in 1986. Anyone interested in Jack's attitude in this matter should read this story.
